I have a 3rd Gen Accord DX Hatchback 5 Spd... I am the 3rd owner. It has about 128,000 mile all original.

I love the car but it needs frame and body repair due to rot. The rear wheelwells are rotted and needs new metal. Side rails on frame are rotted too but need to see how bad.
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS

The engine needs new gaskets. It leaks oil on top. Never overheats It needs front brakes and rotors.

I'm looking for someone thats experienced on working w/ the car and give me an idea if its worth fixing. I will post pics later.

The oil leaking on top is probably the valve cover gasket. EASY cheap fix. Brakes and rotors are super easy too. The rust.....probably not so easy. I honestly dont know how your gonna replace the frame rails.

Hey Everyone

I have to sell my 1987 ACCORD DX HATCHBACK.

PARTS CAR, BUT WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER FIXED UP BY SOMEONE

I was wrong about the mileage, it has 145,000.

The car needs front brakes and rotors, Jack Plates welded to frame and Rubber gaskets.

It has typical rust in rear quarters, a 3" x 3" rust spot on passenger door. Seats have typical wear.

It has a new battery installed in November. Clutch, Starter, and Tune up were done by previous owner and still good.

The car drove like a dream when I was using it. Used to Hug turn like a mutha.

It should be flat bedded instead of towed due to rust on side rails. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN NORTH BERGEN, NJ
